Kylian Mbappe is unrecognizable after the World Cup in Qatar, where he was the star, or one of the stars - world runner-up, top scorer, author of a hat-trick in the final...
At first, the French striker did not want to take a day off after returning from Qatar, he immediately joined the training sessions of Paris Saint-Germain, scored a goal against Strasbourg, and then, in the middle of the championship matches, he took "willingly" and went to America...
He came back, continued to play, but in a not very enviable form, if you don't count the Cup match against the amateur team Pais de Castelo, to which he scored five goals in a real training match.
The highlight was tonight's duel against Montpellier, in which Mbappe literally got dressed.
The "Saints" already won a penalty at the start of the game, Mbappe took the ball, placed it on the penalty spot and missed. In fact, he was saved by the goalkeeper of Montpellier Lacomte.
The video, however, showed that the goalkeeper of the home team was not on the line with at least one foot during the shot, so the shot was repeated.
Mbappe again, miss again - Lakomte hooked the ball, which hit the post...
And that was not all - the ball bounced to Mbappe, who had an empty goal in front of him, a situation easier than a penalty, but he crossed the net.

The match that turned into a real nightmare was ended by the French superstar in the 21st minute, when he was replaced due to injury.
Without Mbappe, as well as the injured Neymar (he was not in the squad), without Sergio Ramos who was also injured in the second half, the "saints" still managed to win - 3:1.
Fabian Ruiz scored for 0:1 in the 55th minute, the second goal was scored by Lionel Messi in the 72nd, so that the home team reduced the lead a minute before the end with a goal by Nordin.
16-year-old Zaire-Emery confirmed the Parisians' victory in stoppage time.
PSG escaped at the top after Lens lost at home to Nice (1:0), and the closest companion is now Igor Tudor's Marseille, who won away to Nantes (2:0).
A negative record in French football was set tonight by Angers, with their 13th defeat in a row.
